If SnapChat detects a group of your contacts together on the Map, it will surface the option to kick-off a Group Chat.

By default, SnapChat users will not appear on the Snap Map.

However, if your friends have decided to share their location, they will be presented by ActionMojis – a new type of Bitmoji that incorporates users’ location, time of day, or speed of travel to infer the best Actionmoji.

Examples include at the beach, walking through an airport, sitting and listening to music. Actionmoji only updates when the SnapChat is opened.

Following the announcement earlier this week, Snap Map is now available for anyone to see at map.snapchat.com.

Users can click-and-drag to navigate the map, which is populated with local landmarks, eateries, and cafes.
